Learning Spanish properly in Costa Blanca or Costa Calida
This is my first forum post. I suspect this is an old subject, but please forgive me in advance.
I am semi-retired, and my wife is going to retire by the end of this summer. We have been coming to Spain for our holidays for almost 10 years ,, always to somewhere the coast between Benidorm and Los Urritas, a few times in Torrevieja and had a great time in Los Alcazares. Sometimes we've been here for up to three or four months at a time.
Our house is going on the market shortly in England, and we will buy somewhere in the area, probably around San Pedro del Pinatar
We are keen to learn Spanish properly. We've done some courses while we are on holidays for a few months and then the following year the school has disappeared. We have done countless conversation coffee mornings, which just seemed to need rote learning and some evening courses at home, which did not seem to have much structure.
We've done some Duolingo, but realized that it is really Mexican or South American when we discovered a few years ago the pronunciations were quite different.
We've tried books, but neither of us learnt about the preterite or split conjunctions in English at school, so it seems too late in the day now to be swallowing Spanish ones.
Is there a long-established Spanish school somewhere on the Costa Blanca or Costa Calida that offers online lessons, so we can start. At the same time, we still in Manchester that we could then continue in classes say every week, when we are living full time in Spain?
Looking for recommendations from people who have done either.
